Here is an update on mine.

 

[smokinafuente]

Does any one know how to get rid of the boxes around the text below the icons? I change the color to some what match, but it still looks like crap.

 

[Wasch_24]

Hmmm, weird.

I don't...sorry.

 

[pdonlin]

Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Custom -> Make sure "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" is checked.

 

[Wasch_24]

Nice...but, checked or not checked.

 

[pdonlin]

Actually you could just click the option that says 'adjust for best appearance' and see if it slows your computer down at all. I've never seen windows actually disable the icon shading when its set to decide on its own so your computer must be really old, or it was manually unchecked before?

The computer is a little over a year and a half old. I looked and it's set to custom. I tried un-clicking "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" and clicking 'adjust for best appearance'. And the nasty blocks are still there. :crytears: :crytears: :crytears:

 

[pdonlin]

Even after clicking 'best appearance' and ok'ing out of all the windows the green is still behind the icons? There must be some other software controlling your appearance settings in that case...

Try changing to 'best appearance' and under Control Panel -> Display -> Choose the theme "Windows XP" which will reset your appearance settings. Then change your wallpaper back and it -should- be good.

I try to do the color match to my back ground. Usually I just use black, it seems to blend in best

Is that the devil bird in the middle??!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have to wait for the batteries on my camera to recharge, and then you will see what happened to that demonic bird !

 

[smokinafuente]

Thanks for all the help guys! But still no luck, so I give up.

I haven't seen my desktop in months. I have 48 windows from 17 applications open right now, with over 25 tabbed websites open.

Vipe, you are insane! and you need some rest. I got tired just thinking of that...what a mess...
